Slow house between the Sea and Olive Trees – Terrace in the village of Seneghe
Welcome to Seneghe, in the heart of Montiferru—a village where time passes more slowly, among centuries-old olive trees, poetry, and the sweet silence. Casa Slow is a simply renovated ancient residence, designed for those who love authentic things: wood, light, the scent of bread and olive oil. On the ground floor, you'll find the living area with a fully equipped kitchen and a second bathroom. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, a large bathroom with double sinks and two toilets, and a panoramic terrace perfect for breakfast, reading, or watching sunsets. It's the perfect home for those seeking authenticity and a slow pace, not just another soulless tourist accommodation. Just 30 minutes away, you'll find the most unique sea in Sardinia: the Sinis, S'Archittu, Tharros, and Is Arutas. But you can also simply stay here, strolling the stone streets, visiting an olive oil mill, or listening to the silence speak.
In spring and autumn, enjoy the village, the tastings, and the festivals. In winter, let the silence and light be your companions as you read, write, or work remotely. The house has been restored, equipping this simple late 19th-century building with all the comforts needed for a pleasant stay. It offers: - Spaces for remote workers or writers - Large living area and kitchen equipped for shared dinners - Double bedroom with direct access to the terrace - Free parking nearby - Linens and towels included - Minimum stay: 2 to 5 nights depending on the season - Fast Wi-Fi
Nearby experiences: ● Olive oil tastings at local olive oil mills ● Excursions in Montiferru ● "Cabudanne de sos Poetas" poetry festival (September) ● Sinis beaches and sunsets at S'Archittu ● Visits to Tharros and Is Arutas ● Artisan workshops and small, traditional restaurants

Nuestra estancia en Sardegna ha sido exactamente lo que esperábamos, un entorno de ensueño combinado con una gente muy agradable. La casa de Lorenzo es todo lo que puedes esperar para una estancia inmejorable, dispone de todo lo necesario y sabe combinar lo mejor de una casa de pueblo antigua con elementos modernos. Todo ello únicamente superado por la atención de Ana y de Lorenzo, que se encargaron de que no nos faltara nada en nuestra estancia.
Volveremos.
Prachtig gerenoveerd oud huis in een klein stadje midden in Sardinië. Heel sfeervol ingericht met traditionele en moderne elementen. Lekker avondterras en een schaduwtuintje. Er stond een schaal fruit als welkoms geschenk klaar. Eigenaar is heel behulpzaam. We hebben genoten. Een absolute aanrader!
Hallo Anton, ich freue mich, dass Ihnen unser Haus gefallen hat und wir würden uns freuen, Sie in Zukunft wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Wenn Sie Südsardinien besuchen möchten, können Sie sich auch unser Ferienhaus in Meeresnähe ansehen: https://www.vrbo.com/it-it/affitto-vacanze/p1010845. Bis bald, viel Spaß, Lorenzo
Bella casa antica ristrutturata, ampia e confortevole. il clima di Seneghe è fresco a asciutto, si respira un ottima aria, gradevoli la passeggiate la sera per le vie del paese. Ci ritorneremo di sicuro anche grazie alla splendida ospitalità di Lorenzo.
Très belle maison au coeur d'un village de montagne
Nous avons apprécié la vaste et belle maison située en plein coeur d'un village de montagne agréable.
La rénovation est de très belle qualité et de très bon goût.
Les alentours du village sont magnifiques et les plages pouvant être atteintes en 25 minutes très belles.
Le site nuragique de santa Christina est proche ainsi que le village médiéval santu lussurgiu. Nous recommandons cette location.

Fantastically Restored House in a traditional Italian Village
Just back from a week in Seneghe and we all had a great time. The house is amazing and was larger than we were expecting. It has been really well restored and is quirky and very unusual - in a good way. We parked right outside and the town has a couple of handy little markets just along the road as well as a bank, Pizza restaurant (very good) and a bakers and couple of delis. - Seneghe is an interesting place to explore with lots of narrow backstreets and ancient houses and we loved wandering around - all the locals are very friendly. There are loads of great beaches nearby on the Sinis Pennisula and it was great to come back to a cool house after a day on the beach as it has been hot this summer in Sardinia.
Accueil très sympa, le voisinage aussi, la maison est agréable pas loin du centre ville
Nous recommandons cette location

Cher Alain, ce fut un plaisir pour nous de pouvoir t'accueillir et de savoir que ce fut une expérience formidable. Merci pour vos commentaires, j'espère de vous avoir à nouveau et de garder également à l'esprit cet autre notre maison au bord de la mer sur la côte sud-ouest de la Sardaigne: http://www.homeaway.it/affitto-vacanze/p1010845
Au revoir!
We chose Seneghe as a central location for daily outings around Sardinia - close to Oristano, but away from tourist hot spots.
Lorenzo was a most accomodating host (our request in advance, a fruit bowl on arrival), and Anna very helpful with daily needs and questions.
Otherwise, I gladly agree to what other guests have already written about the house. It had everything we needed, and the dishwasher and washing machine were useful time savers.
The house in itself is very old with thick stone walls - keeps downstairs cool in the heat. I am sure that it has an interesting history (maybe Lorenzo can elaborate on that).
Highly recommended for those not needing a TV or 24/7 technologies.

Thanks for your words Nicola. Happy to know that you appreciated the real atmosphere of the house that we restored and redesigned. Happy to have you back someday and keep in mind also the other house we have by the sea on the south-west coast of Sardinia: http://www.homeaway.it/affitto-vacanze/p1010845. Thanks, again
Von außen eher unauffällige Ferienwohnung. Innen geschmackvoll und rustikal eingerichtet. Bis auf eine Kaffeemaschine war in der Küche alles vorhanden. Bei kühlen Temperaturen empfiehlt es sich den Kamin anzumachen. Holz ist vorhanden.

Thanks for your review Arno and unfortunately you didn't always find good weather, this May has been a really rainy month! Sorry for the coffee machine as we use the traditional Italian moka instead of the "nespresso" machine for ecological reasons (less plastic!).

A gem of a house, charming and comfortable
The house makes a great base for exploring the region of Orosei and its beaches by car. It's a beautifully restored and well-maintained period townhouse on a lovely old street in Seneghe. The town has local grocery shops and a great pizzeria all within a few minutes' walk of the house. The house is well equipped and certainly spacious enough for our family of four. Traditional Sardinian touches in the decor connect you to this beautiful land and its people.

An exciting find in a traditional Sardinian village
This house was such an exciting find. My husband and I were looking for a holiday rental in this area and we came across this house in Seneghe. The photo of the exterior doesn't do justice to the beautiful and sympathetic refurbishment inside. We loved the original features that had been retained and incorporated into the refurbishment as well as the array of local craft items that Lorenzo has used in furnishing the house. In addition to its charm the house has every modern convenience and all the equipment needed for a holiday.
The village of Seneghe is quite traditional and has all the facilities needed such as a couple of supermarkets, two high quality butchers, a bakery, greengrocers, pbank and several bars. The locals are very friendly and you soon feel a part of village life. The only downside is that there is only one place to eat out which is a pizzeria called Sa Pranza, however the food there is very good, (I recommend trying the antipasti) and they do pizza to take away. There are other places to eat within a short drive. Using Seneghe as a base there are plenty of places to visit without having to drive too far. If you want to see how real Sardinians live this is the place to come.
Thanks to Lorenzo for letting us rent this lovely house and to Anna, our local contact for her help with queries.

Relaxing and beautiful
We enjoyed our stay so much, that I'm tempted not to "share" this house in case it's booked when we next want to visit! It is comfortable & has all the modern amenities that one could hope for, yet retains its historical charm. My family (inclu. 2 children under 8 yrs of age) felt completely at home. The owners and manager were also easily accessible via sms for any questions--and have perfect English (if your Italian happens to be as poor as mine).
The town of Seneghe is also a gem. The residents were all exceedingly friendly & patient, and the setting could not be more picturesque. There is a huge variety of things to see & do within an hour drive, from hiking in the Seneghe forest, to visiting the cathedral in Oristano, exploring the narrow streets of Bosa, learning about ancient civilizations, or swimming and snorkeling at the countless nearby beaches. We loved our time there and look forward to returning!

Schönes Ferienhaus im historischen Zentrum
Regional typisches und schön renoviertes Ferienhaus in der Nähe des Zentrums von Seneghe. Das Haus selbst verfügt im oberen Stockwerk über drei Schlafräume sowie eine Terrasse. Im unteren Stockwerk befindet sich die Küche sowie ein Wohnraum mit langem Esstisch und Kamin. Dazu gibt es im Haus zwei Bäder. Wer auf Luxus verzichten kann, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Das schließt das Fehlen eines Fernsehers ein, dafür aber gibt es ein über das Mobilfunknetz angebundenes WLAN-Netz mit einem Datenvolumen von 700 MB pro Woche frei. Die Anbindung war gut und schnell, so dass man die Touren des nächsten Tages planen konnte.
Seneghe selbst hat ca. 1800 Einwohner. Es verlaufen sich nur wenige Touristen hierher; man lebt sozusagen unter den Sarden. Mehrere kleinere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Cooperativa etc.) befinden sich im Ort. Dazu zwei Pizzerias (eine davon nur zum Mitnehmen) sowie ein einfaches Restaurant (Sa Tanka). Dann noch ein Bäcker, eine Poststelle sowie mehrere Bars.
Die sehr schönen Strände der Sinis-Halbinsel erreicht man mit dem Auto in ca. 20-30 Minuten. Dazu zählen Is Arrenas (Sandstrand mit Wellengarantie), Is Arrutas (Reiskornstrand) oder auch Tharros. Allerdings ausnahmslos ohne Schatten. Sonnenschirme sind also von Vorteil und befinden sich auch zur Nutzung im Ferienhaus.
Besonderer Service: Wir kamen erst gegen 22.00 Uhr am Ferienhaus an und hatten deshalb zuvor beim Vermieter nachgefragt, ob man dann noch in Seneghe Essen gehen kann. Uns wurde dann angeboten, einige Dinge vorab für uns zu kaufen, so dass wir nach der Ankunft im Haus essen könnten. Nach dem wir in Calgiari gerade den Mietwagen übernommen hatten, meldete sich der Vermieter bei uns telefonisch und fragte an, wann wir in Seneghe ankommen würden. Zu unserer Überraschung fanden wir dann warme Pizzas sowie einen Korb mit italienischen Spezialitäten vor. Und das auch noch als "Geschenk" des Vermieters.

Rural Area for many activities
We had a great vacation at Lorenzo's house.
Everything was well prepared and clean. The property is well-maintained.
Due to the time of the year, we used the heating system with the open fireplace every evening. Fire starters and Wood was provided.
We loved to explore the town with local butchers, grocery stores and shops. Most of al we enjoyed the Pizza Places. So delicious.
We brought our mountain bikes, which we rode several times up hill at the natural reserve. Also hiking was fun. Paths are not signed very well, but Lorenzo has a guide at the house, where we could get some suggestions for hikes.
We were lucky with the weather and had some very nice days at the close beaches. We tried different ones by driving around by car and following beach signs.
The best ice-cream shop is in Oristano.

Charming period house elegantly restored
This is a lovely house in a very quaint little village. The downstairs was cool and dark - which is ideal for hot Summer months I guess - and the upstairs very light and bright. The restoration is very sympathetic and the attention to detail is impressive. The upstairs bathroom is beautiful - one of the nicest bathrooms I have seen! The April evenings were cool so we lit a fire every night, firewood having been thoughtfully provided. It was spotlessly clean throughout with lovely linen sheets provided. The church bells peal every hour and from the terrace all we could see were red tiled roofs and hundreds of birds. Everyone we met in Seneghe was very friendly and helpful, especially as we don't speak Italian or Sardo. The owner very kindly organised wi-fi for our stay which was much appreciated. I would have scored it 5 stars but for the fact there were no loungers for the terrace, and we do like to sit in the sun!

Charming house
We stayed in Lorenzo's house in September for a late summer holiday. We had a great time and we hope to stay there again very soon. The house is located in a rural town called Seneghe, secluded and with lots of history, but close enough to the sea and other areas of interest like Oristano and Alghero and its airport. The location of Seneghe is an ideal base-camp for any destination in Sardignia, 2 hours max from any point in the island, although you can get to most cities much faster. Cagliari is around 1 hour away.
The house itself is really big and charming. 2 big double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a massive and well equipped kitchen (we loved the stone vault over this area of the house), there is a gigantic formal dinning room in case you want to invite friends or you are staying with all your family or friends, and a smaller dinning and sitting area with a fireplace, ideal for a cozy winter evening-in. The house also has a nice terrace and a secluded patio, perfect for a nice summer barbecue. And all that in the most delightful peace and quiet!
We definitely recommend this house, excellent value for this great house. And Lorenzo and Anna are great hosts. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Herrliches Haus
Mitte September duften wir zu Gast in diesem liebevoll und excellent restaurierten Haus sein. Hier fehlt es an nichts. Seife in den Bädern, Geschirrspülmittel in der Küche, Toilettenpapier und selbst Waschmittel sind vorhanden. Handtücher liegen in ausreichender Menge bereit. Alles war sauber und gepflegt. Das Bad im ersten Stock ein Traum. Die Küchenausstattung hätte gereicht um für viele Personen ein mehrgängiges Menü zuzubereiten. Salz, Pfeffer, Olivenöl, Wasser und Wein standen in der Küche. Die elektrischen Geräte wie Herd, Waschmaschine und Geschirrspüler waren neuwertig und absolut sauber. Ein Essen in einem örtlichen Restaurant war im Mietpreis inbegriffen. Hierbei handelte es sich um ein Vier-Gänge-Menü von sehr guter Qualität. Mmmh, lecker. Den Vermieter des Hauses konnten wir jederzeit für Fragen telefonisch erreichen, nachdem uns seine Frau Anna das Haus gezeigt und den Schlüssel übergeben hat. Beide sprechen prima englisch. Das Haus ist äusserst geräumig und liegt ruhig mitten in dem kleinen sardischen Städtchen Seneghe. Weiteren Touristen sind wir hier nicht begegnet. Fußläufig gibt es einen Bäcker, mehrere Cafes, Bars und Restaurants. In der gleichen Straße gibt es einen Metzger, der allerlei sardische Spezialitäten anbietet. Die Unterkunft dient als guter Ausgangspunkt um von Bosa bis zur Costa Verde und noch weiter südlich die Strände der Westküste sowie die Bergwelt und das Hinterland Sardiniens zu entdecken. in Putzu I´ddu und an etlichen weiteren frei zugänglichen Stränden ist man in ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Auto bei gemütlicher Fahrweise (also anders als die sardischen Autofahrer;-) Es lohnt sich durchs Hinterland nach Bosa zu fahren. Auf der Fahrt kann man die herrliche Weite der Insel bewundern, zu einer Wasserquelle in den Bergen unweit von Seneghe fahren. Die Nuraghe Losa ist sehenswert. Die Menschen im Ort haben wir als freundlich und hilfsbereit empfunden, obwohl wir kein Wort italienisch sprechen. Kurz: herrlich ruhig. Herrlich erholsam. Herrlich fern von Streß und Alltagshektik.
Weil man ja aber auch etwas zum Meckern haben muß: Unser Auto: eine A-Klasse passte zwar in die Garage, aber mein Mann wollte partout nicht hierin schlafen;-)) Es gibt aber genügend Platz, um direkt dem Haus gegenüber zu parken.Wir danken den Hausbesitzern, dass wir Gäste dieses wunderschönen Domizils sein durften und wünschen Ihnen auch für die Zukunft viele nette Gäste, die sorgsam mit diesem Haus umgehen. Herzlichst Andi und Uli
